[Write another chapter of the situation, and then return to the protagonist, I don't like to read it, this chapter can not be subscribed]
Consternation!
After learning the news that the 18,000 reinforcements of Commander Zhou Qun were ambushed by the Guangming Army and only a few thousand people escaped, the faces of the Manchu civil and military forces of the Great Li Empire were all stunned.
What was even more shocking was that a few days later, the news that Tongzhou City had been breached by the Guangming Army spread in Xinping City.
The 100,000 counterinsurgency army led by Taiwei Guo Wei searched for more than ten days in Linzhou, and did not find the figure of the Guangming Army, but the Guangming Army left a clue and waited for the officials and soldiers to track it.
At this time, Guo Wei received the news that the army supporting Tongzhou City was ambushed, Guo Wei was furious, and directly divided the 100,000 troops into three routes, one was the wolf cavalry, the other was the 40,000 army, and the last road was the 50,000 army commanded by Guo Wei himself.
Guo Wei needed a battle to extinguish the anger in his heart with a battle, but after a few days, he still didn't find the figure of the Guangming Army, and then Guo Wei got a news that made him even more angry: in the north of Linzhou, a county town was captured by the Guangming Army.
This is simply a slap in the face.
When Yunyi received the information from Linzhou, he only spit out three words from his mouth: "Guerrilla warfare!" ”
……
Tongzhou, Tongzhou City has been captured by the Guangming Army, Tongzhou City is surrounded by the Bright Army, no one in Tongzhou City escaped from the encirclement of the Bright Army, including the five innate warriors, in order to kill these five innate warriors and capture Tongzhou City, the Bright Army also paid a huge price: the Ten Elders were killed in battle, the Eight Elders were seriously injured, the Bright Army was killed and wounded nearly 20,000 people, and more than 12,000 people were attributed in direct combat.
However, the capture of Tongzhou City, the harvest of the Guangming Army is also huge, compared to the county seat, the county seat, the state city is larger, the population is larger, and the number of large households in the city is also more, even if the large households take out a lot of materials to support the government to defend the city, it is only a small part, not even a quarter.
Moreover, when the Bright Army captured Tongzhou City, it also captured nearly 14,000 officers and soldiers, most of these officers and soldiers were from ordinary people, as long as they were propagated (brainwashed) by the Bright Sect, they would eventually become part of the Bright Army.
The Guangming Sect not only did not lose Tongzhou City, but made a big profit.
Now the area in Tongzhou that has not been occupied by the Guangming Sect is only the two counties of Guo's Fengyuan County and Qian's Fangling County, and now that Tongzhou City has been taken, the Guangming Army can also send a large army to capture these two counties.
With the intelligence network of Guo and Qian, they have already learned that Tongzhou City was taken by the Guangming Army, and the two families originally thought that Tongzhou City could hold on for at least a month, but they did not expect it to be captured by the Guangming Army in only half a month, so the next target of the Guangming Army is them.
There are some problems with the timing, but in the past month and a half, both the Fengyuan Guo clan and the Fangling Qian clan have expanded an army of more than 50,000 people (one-third of whom are recruits who have been trained for less than a month).
Compared with Tongzhou City under the rule of the government, the expansion of troops by the two major families of Guo and Qian is simpler and faster, although there is no strong city like Tongzhou City in the two counties to defend, but with the number of troops in the hands of the two families, it is very difficult for the Guangming Sect to take the two counties at the same time, so they can only concentrate their forces to capture the next county first, and then the next county.
However, now the Guo family and the Qian family have gathered more than 20,000 troops at the border of the fiefdom, and Jimo County is separated by Fengyuan County and Fangling County.
In addition, the Guo family and the Qian family had already taken out several high-grade medicinal herbs from the family's hidden medicine garden, preparing to add a few innate martial artists to their family.
"Expedition!" *2
The armies of the Guo and Qian clans were sent out one after another, and Jimo County, which was garrisoned by only about 16,000 people.
……
Suzhou, Qinzhou, Hezhou and other states, the Guangming Army's offensive is weaker than the Guangming Army in Tongzhou, and the scene of the Guangming Army's rapid attack on the city in the early stage no longer exists, and in the face of the various counties and counties where the army and the people work together, the Guangming Army needs to spend more time to conquer.
The big families in these states are also the same as the Guo family and the Qian family, and most of the family heritage has been transformed into strength that can be shown, and the seven surnames and twelve major families and counties have expanded a large army in their own fiefdoms, ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 and 50,000 or 60,000 at most, although more than one-third of the recruits who have been trained for less than a month account for more than one-third, but as long as they go to the battlefield, the surviving recruits will quickly transform.
They did not move to the Guangming Army, but to the counties around the fiefdom that still belonged to the rule of the government, and asked these officials to hand over the jurisdiction of the city to them, and they led their troops to resist the Guangming Army.
Most of the officials can see the form clearly, and feel that the power in their hands is handed over to these top families, but a few officials can't see the situation clearly or see the form clearly and are pretending to be stupid, and the family members directly attack these uncooperative officials in the name of the Guangming Army, and after they die, the city will be handed over to the family by other officials.
The territory of the family, led by seven surnames and twelve clans, is expanding rapidly.
The state pastor is the feudal official who governs a state, both the governor politics and the military, and can become the state pastor, its own strength will not be weak, and the major state pastors can only sit in the state city because of the Guangming Sect, but when the soldiers in the major state cities expanded to a certain number, several state pastors who had skyrocketed in confidence decided to take the initiative to attack and regain the lost territory.
……
The situation in Zezhou is similar to that of other states in the Dali Empire, except for Yunhua County, Dingxiang County, and Zezhou City, which have not been invaded by the Guangming Army, and the other states in Zezhou have the presence of the Guangming Army, among which Huichuan County, Huwei County, and Jieliang County have completely fallen into the hands of the Guangming Army, and nearly half of the land in Haiqu County, Helin County, and Gap County has fallen into the hands of the Guangming Army.
After a month and a half of preparation, the army in the hands of the Dingxiang Shangguan clan has expanded to nearly 40,000 people, Zezhou is already barren and sparsely populated, and the population of Dingxiang County is only close to 400,000 people, which is one of the more populous counties in the eight counties of Zezhou, and it is not easy to expand the army to 40,000 in a month and a half, but it can also be seen that the Shangguan clan has a strong heritage, and the Shangguan clan, which originally had only two innate warriors, has now increased to three, and it is possible to increase in the future.
With a large army in hand, the Shangguan clan also began to act against the surrounding counties like other clans, and in just a few days, the control of several county towns fell into the hands of the Shangguan clan, and the strength of the Shangguan clan further increased, and the number of troops reached 50,000.
……
The Dali Empire's neighbors, the Dayue Empire and the Tang Empire, seem to have made some plans, and one army after another is secretly and rapidly moving to the border areas.
